7. “When I was just about to turn four years old, it was raining very hard outside, and I wanted to go play in the rain… I wanted to fly just like Mary Poppins, so I kept jumping off the high wall in hopes of flying in the sky just like Mary Poppins. Unfortunately, I tried several times to end up in the neighbor’s yard and began to get sad and disappointed. All I wanted to do was to fly with my umbrella. After a while, my dad came outside and asked me what I was doing. I told him, “I’m trying to fly in the sky like Mary Poppins.” My dad took his index finger, licked the tip of it and moved it back and forth. He then told me there wasn’t enough wind.”
